Madara Cosmetics SOS Hydra Moisture & Radiance Mask

“Fortified with Northern Peony Extract, Hyaluronic Acid and Linseed, the face mask moisturises and hydrates parched skin, whilst providing antioxidant protection to defend against environmental stresses.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
betaine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

“Treat your complexion to the MÁDARA SOS Hydra Moisture+Radiance Mask ; a lightweight formula that works to improve skin tone and texture without over-drying or uncomfortable tightness.”
This product contains ingredients (paeonia lactiflora root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
